This hatchling was found at Fuyuan of Yunnan Province, China. It looks like Keichousaurus but it has a distinctly rounder skull, longer neck and a shorter tail. Could it be the hatchling of another species like Dianopachysaurus dingi? I also attach a typical Keichousaurus hatchling for easy comparison.

This fossil plate is interesting, it seems there are two or three Keichousarus overlapping with each other. Could they be copulating? Or just by coincidence fossilized on top of each other?

Keichousaurus with two vertebral columns?
Crazyhen posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
This juvenile Keichousaurus should be a genuine one but I don't understand why it appears to have two separate vertebral columns. It doesn't seem like the vertebral column is split into two due to fossilization process. Any idea?- 1 reply

I recently saw the pictured Keichousaurus for sale from China. Considering the sheer amount of fakes I very skeptical however, they, for the most part, are in uncommon positions and show good removal of the matrix. Are these authentic or have the dealers in China upped their game on fakes.

Keichousaurus - Real? Fake?
StephimentaryRocks posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi everyone! I've always had a love of paleontology and been fossil-hunting as a child (I've found mainly plant fossils, some incomplete trilobites, some unknown fragments of bone). The fossils I've found were usually incomplete and very weathered by the elements, but it was very rewarding knowing that I was holding a piece of real prehistoric history. I've always been fascinated by dinosaurs and other prehistoric reptiles, but never had the pleasure and luck of finding one "in the wild". So of course I took the natural route of going online! I'm very very inexperienced in terms of- 6 replies

Hello community, A friend of mine recently gifted me this keichousaurus. But as you can see the Preperation is not the cleanest/nicest. Can I as an amateur fix this by myself or make it look cleaner and nicer? I also had the Idea that I maybe could work from the other side with Acid layer by layer. Then I could also be able to see the upper side of the specimen rather than its belly. Or would that not work/ be to risky? Isbthe rock maybe to thin? Can i as an amateur who never worked on a fossil with acid before make that or is it generally not possible?

Is this Keichousaurus authentic?
Dendrocursor posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone, I´m new to the forum and I would like to thank you for allowing me to enter. You see, I am fond of paleontology and to tell the truth something of a novice, I have a small collection of fossils that still continues to grow today, I´m very interested in Mesozoic fossils, but even more so in creatures that are not dinosaurs. One of the specimens that I dream of having in my collection to study and enjoy is Keichousaurus. As well we should all know (And I hope not to bother you, because I notice that the topic is quite frequent in the forum) Keichousaurus is one of the most- 19 replies

Yet another Keichousaurus
Vertebrate posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello Fossil Forum, what do you think about this Keichousaurus? Seller says it's all original, no restoration. While it looks not quite as stunning as the critter in the thread below it's still much nicer than usual IMO and I like the dark/bright contrast of the slab. Any issues or red flags? Thanks!

Keichousaurus real or fake ?
Froth posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, another topic about Keichousaurus. Sorry for not being super original. What do you think about this one ? I read a lot of topics here. The bones seem messy (which appears to be a good sign) I don’t see painting contrast as with other examples ... but what do you think ? it is quite expansive tbh...- 9 replies

This Keichousaurus is interesting in that it got a lot of grainy deposits. Is it due to a decaying body of the Keichousaurus or they are fossilized deposits of organic matter over the body of the Keichousaurus?

Hello, The photo below is my personal collection of Keichousaurus. The bones of this piece seems very fragile to me. I am considering of applying paraloid b72 dissolve in acetone in hope of strengthening the bones. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcomed!

Hi. I'm looking to buy a Keichousaurus as a present for a collector. I've seen some other threads, but I'm no expert, and so I thought I'd ask here about the specimen I'm interested in. As a complete novice, this looks "too good to be true" to me, in particular for the price that it's offered. But other threads had similarly looking specimen that were considered genuine. Thanks for the help! A.

I've owned a sweet Keich that came from China via Germany in the mid-20th century. In our last move, it was broken. The photos attached show the main break point with missing vertebrae. The next photo shows the cross-section, just for the sake of proving authenticity (you can see how the matrix striae curve around the bone as well as the details of the spine in cross-section). As I was lucky enough to find the missing vertebrae I placed the pieces together in the next photo and held the pieces in place in the final photo to show how it should look when finally repaired. My question: What ad
